No interest in Kerry for secretary of state

I will be 90 years old in May. I am retired from the US Air Force, with 20 years, six months and one day of service.

I entered the service Feb. 19, 1943. I went through World War II, the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War.

After training formations in England, we started off June 6 in the Normandy invasion. 362nd Fighter Group, Troop Carrier Squadron, 101st Airborne, C-47s, dropping them and later on towing gliders and supporting troops on the ground with supplies they needed on through the war.

We went to Grossetto, Italy, for the invasion of southern France. After that - back to France for the Battle of the Bulge - dropped supplies on the day before Christmas 1944.

After the war ended in May, I was soon able to return to the good old U.S.A.

I reenlisted so I would have a job. I later went to school for training for larger aircraft, the C-54, and the C-118.

The reason I am writing this is the president is talking about John Kerry for secretary of state. That would be a slap in the face for every military person in the U.S.A., for all the lies he told in Vietnam.

We already have enough liars there.

I am thinking of my children and grandchildren. You will not know this place in the next four years.
